  General Comment:the first line is "dead end job at the dead letter office" - they are releasing this track and that's official title of the song.

  General Comment:I don't think it's a hard song to figure out. Basically, the wrong decisions and the bad plan he's made have caused him to have a bad life. He's still trying to make his life better, though... "I'm doing the best that I can".

  General Comment:He clearly says "I am home" instead of "I am wrong" on some parts.

  General Comment:Get a job at the deliver office
  sounds so said but I am so sick, so sick
  dead in life, with the bad bad plan Brad said.
  hope you know that I am doing the best I can
  
  trust me I read it some where else and when you listen to it you can at least hear the name Brad.

  General Comment:when in life, when the bad one brags on, looking out, but im doing the best i can...
  
  it doesnt make too much sense but maybe someone could toy with it and listen to the song and get back to correcting these lyrics
